coin toss gambling 'damage' issue possibility aside, having a 'weaker' meter in this regard so as not to switch stuff on in circuit as DJ pointed out, can come in handy
I'll be running through all my meters when time permits, with fresh and tired batteries, and take notes on all the auto and manual ranges into different resistances and shorts
I've done it before, to see which meters kicked ass in diode mode and Continuity and buzzer speed
and LED disco brightness levels This time I'll scribble it all down on paper scraps, so I don't forget most of it

Hey yeah, a video of this stuff above would be great if anyone has serious gear, expertise and Youtube channel

and if an 87V can do damage or if the 28-11 (pre-87V MAX rebadged model) is better in that regard
or did Fluke drop the 28-11 diode voltage/current because it runs on 6 volt 4 x AA battery set instead of a single 9 volt battery
![Confused :-//](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/confused0024.gif)
Has anyone tried a 28-11 with a 9v battery, or better (safer) still a limited current regulated PSU ramped up SLOWLY ?
or does it just flash and clap out at 8+ volts, and no performance difference
